http://imgur.com/R8wOvqE - sold for 4 ref. (In about a day)

All sellers want 4-5 ref+, or are un/poorly bumped.

Thank you!

    I think there is a rule against using proof that includes only your own sales, but I can't quite remember.


    Besides, 1 sale might not cut it despite this item's rarity. Try finding another sale that isn't your own.

      I don't think that rule applies for rare items like this, as I have priced several items (all rare like this) with just my own sales.

        3 Sellers On OutPost TF At 3.33 Ref, But Are Unbumped.

        Gonna Stay Neutral On This.

          Isn't that why poor Baddy gets a lot of stick, because he often uses proof that involves his own sales? A lot of them pass, don't get me wrong, but he always receives a great deal of unfair abuse for it.

      Maybe 3.66-4 would be better, but the current price is certainly out of date. Sold my last one for 4 ref more than a month ago.


      Proof: http://imgur.com/29tvSM6 (source: http://dispenser.tf/bot/171/inventoryhistory?p=1)


        where would 3.66 come from?

          Maybe from one of the people who are against this increase? Really I just hope that suggesting a lower range like 3.66 - 4 or 3.33 - 4 would appease people who are fighting against it, so that the bp.tf price could actually stay close to the market price, instead of getting stuck for almost 6 months due to lack of evidence, and then suddenly jumping up by 30%


          The bp.tf system just isn't working very well for less frequently traded items like this. It's just sad to see people spending so much time trying to find evidence while bp.tf is making things difficult by not warning users that the old price is now totally out of date. As long as bp.tf says the item is still "worth" 3 ref, then of course noobs who don't do any research are going to throw it on the market for 3.00 or 3.33, so there will always be some evidence for the lower price range.

            but there's no proof of 3.66 or 3.33

              Isn't there? Setsuna F. Seiei linked to 3 recent offers to sell for 3.33


              I don't want to be rude to him, but I think that proof is almost meaningless, for the reasons that I gave in my comment above - but despite that, it is proof according to the slightly broken system we have here.

                and they were all unbumped and peasant showed why 3.33 was a quicksell price

                  Are you assuming that I'm disagreeing with this price suggestion? I'm not. A price increase is long overdue. It should have increased months ago.


                  I commented that 3.66 - 4 might be better, not because I think it's a more reasonable price, but because it's more likely to be accepted. Anything that gets a price increase accepted would be good. I see people opposing this price suggestion, and I worry that it's going to get rejected. Then the price will be stuck at 3 ref for another few months, because nobody will waste their time making a counter suggestion after this one failed.


                  Not joking... here's an example of a similar item where the bp.tf price has stuck at 2 ref for a year, while the market price has always been 3-4 ref: http://backpack.tf/stats/Unique/Strange%20Part%3A%20Demomen%20Killed/Tradable/Craftable


                  I just wish bp.tf could keep prices more up to date, then people wouldn't have to waste their time like this, debating about whatever is a "quicksell".


                  In fact, the reason for these so called "quicksells" in this case is because a lot of people use bp.tf as their only price reference, but bp.tf is out of date (for this item). Then the item sells quickly because some traders know that the market price is higher than the bp.tf price, so they buy it quickly.

                    3.66 - 4 ref would actually make it extremely unlikely to be accepted, since the low range would be arbitrary. 3 - 4 ref could be argued as a conservative increase, keeping old price in range. 3.33 - 4 ref could be argued given the sale and unbumped trades. 3.66 - 4 ref would be closed quickly as one end of range doesn't have any trades supporting its inclusion in range.

        not enough proof. downvote
